WE OURSELVES

(Robert Delaunay, fenêtres Ouvertes Simultanement, 1912 o / c)

E 'for a long time I want to post this song. I think the time has come.
Giacomo Ulivi, 19 years in 1944, a student at the University of Parma, Faculty of Law. E 'Cnl relay between Parma and Carrara and the British. Is captured, escapes twice but the third was fatal, in Modena the Black Brigades imprison him and torture him. On the morning of November 10 will be shot on the Piazza Grande in Modena with two other partisans. This is the letter that could be reached before the arrest as a friend:

Dear friends, I'd like
confess first that I ripped three times and wrote this letter. I had started with a look around, with a sincere regret for the ruins that surround us, but, in going from this what I want to talk, afraid of appearing "fake", sugared the pill with a preamble to a pathetic propaganda. And this word as an insult undeserved fear: this is not propaganda but a question I want to do with you.

Instead we must look and examine together what? Ourselves. To get used to seeing us in the share of responsibility that we have our problems. To recognize what has been done by us, to reach where we have reached. Do not want to seem like a Savonarola, who calls the scourge. I would agree with me that what we feel unprepared, and severity of recent errors, and thought to the fact that we have to redo everything. Everything from houses to railways, ports to power plants, industry, fields of wheat.

But above all, you see, we do ourselves is a prerequisite for everything else. I ask: Why remake ourselves, in what sense? Here, for example, how many of us hope for an end to these terrible cases, to begin a quiet and industrious life devoted to family and work? Fine: is a general feeling, widespread and satisfactory. But, I think, work will not suffice, and invincible in the desire for "peace", although laborious is the sign of the error. Why this need for peace is an attempt to get as far away as possible from any political demonstration. It's terrible, most terrible, believe me, end result of miseducation twenty years of miseducation or negative education, which for two decades hammering on each side was able to nail down many of us of prejudice.

fundamental to the "filth" of politics, which seems to have been inspired by two pathways. Every day they told us that politics is a job of "specialists". Hard work, which has its own needs, and these needs, like every day you could see, were strangely similar to those that underlie the work of every thief and robber. Theory and practice combined to distract us and keep us away from any political activity. Convenient, eh? Leave it to those who can and should, you work and think, they said, and what did we see now, that in political life - especially if it means direct political participation in our case - we were thrown from the event.

Here lies our fault, I think, what happened, the Italians, with many centuries of experience, emerged from a wonderful process of liberation, where none other than our grandparents gave proof of quality, unique in Europe, an attachment to public policy - that is to say to themselves - perhaps without example, we have abdicated any right to left, in front of some empty, echoing words ? What do we believe? Believed thankfully nothing, but either way we left snatched everything from a minority inadequate, morally and intellectually.

This has robbed, thrown into an adventure without end, and this is the side more "rosy", I think: The bad thing is that the words and deeds of the minority have eroded the moral position, the mentality of many of us. Believe me, "What public "is ourselves: what we have with it is not a common place, a big word and empty, like patriotism or love for his mother in tears and in chains called, baroque vision, although other wonderful yeast generations. We are false to ourselves, but let's not forget ourselves in a terrible light. Beyond the rhetoric, what we see as the public is ourselves, our families, our work, our world, in short, that every tragedy is our tragedy, as now we suffer from extreme poverty in which our country has fallen: if we had always kept in mind, as this would have happened? Selfishness - we are sorry to hear this word - Is like a cold shower, right?

Also all the pills we were served up with sweet around, everything is cloaked in rhetoric. Let's strength, learn to feel bitter, we must not hide it with a screen ideal, because the shadow expands undisturbed. It 'better to put him in the sunlight, confess, found naked, exposed to the eyes: you will see that it will be less arrogant. Selfishness, as we said, the interest has so much in what we do: often confused with the ideal. But it becomes dangerous, damnable, damned, just when is blind, unintelligent. Especially when it is concealed. And, if we reason, our interest and that of "public affairs", in fact, end up the same. Precisely for this reason we have to treat it directly, personally, as our most delicate and important work. Because this depends on everyone else, all other conditions. If not we enjoy this, if we do not deal in depth, especially today, we hope that shot, to which we cling tenaciously, it will be impossible. For this we must prepare. It can also suffice, you know, quietly, we begin to look at us, and to express wishes. How we live tomorrow? No, do not claim to be discouraged, not wanting to know more. Do you think it all happened because you no longer want to know!

Remember, you men, you have a duty if your instinct urges you to exercise the right to look after your interests, to look after those of your children, your loved ones. Have you ever thought that in the coming months will decide the fate of our country, ourselves? Which will have decisive influence our will if we rely on it? What will be our responsibility if we're going to encounter a danger negative. We must do a lot. Try asking in the day, which was, for the idea that you've got yourself the real life, you think well-ordered, to inquire for this objective assessment. If you believe in democratic freedom, in which, within the limits of the constitution, you yourself directing public affairs, or wait for a new concept, more egalitarian of life and property. And if you accept the first solution, you want the power to elect, for example, is for everyone, so that the elected body is a direct and genuine expression of our country, or restrict it to more prepared today to achieve a progressive enlargement? This and more you have to ask. You have to convince, persuade and prepare, not to overwhelm the other, nor to give up.

Today we must fight against the oppressor. This is the first duty for us all: but it is well prepared to solve those problems in a sustainable manner, and avoids the resurgence of everything they and the recurrence of what has befallen us.
end this long letter a bit 'confused, I know, but spontaneous, apologizing and wishing us good job.
